Looking for my first Victorinox.

TheUSMC2017 · May 25, 2011

So I have some Shrade multi-tool right now, but I think it's too bulky, and it has a lot of useless tools. So I've been looking at Victorinox for a nice, light, inexpensive EDC multi-tool. Problem is, I can't find one that has the right tools. Is there a Victorinox with these features?
Blade
Flathead screwdriver
Phillips head screwdriver
Tweezers/toothpick
Scissors

Thanks a lot!

sounds like a "super tinker" to me. but you could also go on victorinox's website and pick what tools you want and they'll match a knife up for you.

http://www.swissarmy.com/MultiTools/Pages/ToolMatch.aspx . For size, choose 91mm. What that does is it allows you to input all the tools which you'd like on the knife, and comes back with any and all models which fit into your criteria. Give it a shot.

the airline security people seem to confinscate lots of swiss army knives. makes them cheap on places like ebay.

The Super Tinker would be a nice option, but you could also look at the Explorer.

I'd suggest going with the explorer for the placement of its phillips head screwdriver - the ones on the back aren't nearly as good to use.

I remember hearing about a place where you can customize your knife but I couldn't find it. Thanks

If you're looking for less bulk, get the Super Tinker because it has one less layer than the Explorer.

A bit hard to get hold of outside of the UK but the Duke of Edinburgh knife would be about as slim as you could possibly get.

Plus 1 on the Super Tinker. It's my favorite EDC knife.

The tip of the can opener is designed to fit phillips head screws (and it works very well.) If you don't need a 3D phillips driver, the Climber will meet all your needs.

While they are hard to find I would recommend the Yeoman model. Blade, combo tool-flat screwdriver, Scissors, Phillips Screwdriver-Magnifying Glass, Corkscrew , Hook, Plus Scales add Tweezers, Toothpick, Mini Screwdriver, Ink Pen and a Stick Pin.

The Rambler. Nice and compact and has every tool you mentioned plus a file and cap lifter.
